Product Description

Balloon Racer

Simply blow into the back of the toy racecar to inflate the balloon, set the car on the ground, and watch it race away. The design of this toy fits any standard balloon. Designed by Dieter Stein and made in The Netherlands, the Balloon Racer reflects the Museum’s storied history of documenting and displaying examples of Dutch design. MoMA was the first art museum to collect and exhibit automobiles as examples of functional design. Throughout its history, the Museum has organized nine automotive exhibitions. This item is assorted. A color will be selected for you at random. Made of polypropylene. For ages 3 and up.

I bought four cars for my four grandsons, ages 8, 8, 5, 2. The car was disappointing in its performance. It was difficult to get it to go straight for any length of time, and my grandsons quickly just removed the balloon and played with it, avoiding the frustration of trying to get the car to perform. Maybe new better balloons will make it work better, which means better balloons should have been included from the beginning.
